Q.1. Statement : "if you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper A." – X tells Y.

Assumptions :
I. Y wants to publicize his products.
II. Newspaper A has a wide circulation.

Assumption I is not implicit, because there is 'if' in the statement and we can't be sure if Y want to publicize his products of not.
Assumption II is implicit, as it is clear from statement that X has recommended Newspaper A due to its wide circulation.

Q.2. Statement: I have written several letters to the branch manager regarding my account in the bank but did not receive any reply so far.

Assumptions:
I. Branch manager is expected to read letters received from the customer.
II. Branch manager is expected to reply to the letters received from the customers.

Assumption I is implicit, as supervisor has advised the administrative officer to not to grant leave.
Assumption II is also implicit, because supervisor has given the reason for not granting the leave as 'exigency of work in due week'.

Q.6. Statement: The next meeting of the Board of the Institute will be held after one year.

Assumptions:
I. The Institute will remain in function after one year.
II. The Board will be dissolved after one year.

Assumption I is implicit, because it is clear that the Institute will remain in function after one year as it is given that Governing Board meeting will be held after one year..
Assumption II is not implicit because there are no reasons to say that Board will be dissolved after one year.
